Bought a dwmh in Florida countryside that was built ii 1990. Can't find any well info from back then. Only thing that looks new is the bladder tank. I wanted to gather up supplies to swap it out when needed as the funds are available. I'd also like to have back up to get water with 12/24 v. I'd like to switch from working heavy galvenized to schedule 80/120 or poly where all my experience was.. I'm the son of a master plumber so I have been working with him since I could use tools. Back in Pa we always used poly for subs/jet pumps. Galvenized drop would have gotten nasty quick in that water. Neighbor says his well is 100 ft with him being about 10 ft lower elevation but you never know the water table. Anyway I got some speaker wire and attached it to a water alarm and using a weight dropped it down the well. At 72 ft the weight stopped at even with trying to get it to swing/move round down there. Everything was dry when pulled. The only thing I though ws a torque arrestor but that should have been below the water level. Guess the next attempt is a smartphone borescope with a long extension. Any thoughts ? GBY

Hi everyone, I am having an issue with the well or pump in my home, however it is totally random. At times, usually when my wife is in the shower with a head full of shampoo, the water will literally cut out and stop flowing. The water is stopped in all the faucets in the house, hot and cold. The issue lasts for a few minutes, and then it returns to normal as if nothing happened. The well in our home is shared with the neighbor as it sits on the property line. My house has a submersible pump and my neighbors house has a jet pump. I think the well is only 75ft deep. We have always had relatively low water pressure, but we have never had this random cutting out issue. It also doesn't happen everyday. I know very little about well systems in general although I have lived with a well for thirty-three years. Thank you everyone! Zack
